US teen describes killing as 'amazing, enjoyable'

Wonders what could have triggered a 15 year old to kill someone...

Wonders further how anyone, can feel good taking away anothers' life...

Sigh~~

Should haves/ Could haves/ Would haves

2012-02-07T11:47:00.009+08:00

Was reading mummy's FB comment on "going to experience a snowy day" and remembered how when I visited New York a long time back, snow stopped falling the day before I landed and started to fall again hours after I left JFK.

Taken shortly after I landed.

See the pathetic little puddle of snow on the ground behind me? =D

I guess it is every Asian Kid's dream to see snow falling ba...

My mind was soon filled with all the should haves/ could haves/ would haves in my life....

Thinking back, I have always been an "almost there" person. I somehow always trip on that final hurdle through some twisted fate or circumstances. I never, ever reach my destination. Why? Is my character flawed or has fate really been unkind to me?

When I was in primary school, I was well liked by classmates and teachers alike. My teachers often told me I was a bright student.

My mentor/ idol when I was a kid(Ah Boy Khor Khor or Tristan now)

He helped me aced the Social Studies Project you see in the picture, I think I scored 62/65 for this project on SEA Currencies! =)

With Belief and a good mentor came good grades. I came in 8th, 5th and finally 1st in class for Primary 4, 5 and 6 respectively. But somehow, when PSLE came, I only managed a 217 aggregate, scoring An A*, 2 As and a B. I don't quite understand how or why that can/ had happen.

And through fate and some stupid decision making, I ended up in a lousy school where the same more or less repeated. I was doing OK till end of Sec 3. Through fate, my favourite science Teacher became pregnant and left the school, replaced by a teacher who was confused about her own sexual orientation. My grade went from A1 to D7. It didn't stop there. By the end of the first semester of Secondary 4, we had no Math and Geography Teachers to guide us in our 'O' Level year. We only had relieve teachers who let us do whatever we wanted during those periods. Our Principal doesn't speak English and I seriously doubt the credentials of the rest of the remaining teachers that taught us then. Again, I can't quite comprehend how something like this can happen in Singapore. So, naturally, I flunked my "O"s.

After "O" levels, I was a lost bird and when advisers asked me what I like, I told them numbers. They recommended I study Accounting and so, I ended up doing a LCCI Diploma In Accounting. I did quite well, scoring 3 As from the 4 modules I took. But then again, nobody even know what LCCI is.

Soon, it was time for BMT. I was a popular bunk/ platoon mate then too. At the end of BMT, there was an assessment for the best recruit. I came in top for IPPT, 2nd in the Peer Appraisal category but ended up 2nd overall. Only the "Top Recruit" gets recognised at the Passing out parade. He was a regular(signed on the army as a career)... Sigh~~

Due to problems at home then, I managed to secure a stay-out post for the rest of my Army days. So I used some of the time I had to go for driving lessons. Less than a week before I got my licence, the last of the 3 cars we had was sold/ repossessed(I am not quite sure). =/

Even in lotteries, I wasn't spared. During my very boring army days, I picked up 4d buying. And would buy every single draw without fail. There was a set of numbers which I will "follow" religiously till they open. One Saturday, I was playing soccer and the game extended beyond the usual timing. I called everyone I could to ask them to buy my numbers for me but none was free. That night, one of the number came in tops! The same thing happen again a few months later. So, of the 52 weeks, 156 draws in a year, I missed two draws and both times my number came in tops. What are the odds? And that wasn't the end. Some time, 2 years back, I thought I had struck first prize again when the last 4 digit of my IC number "4822" came out tops. I happily went to check the "tickets" only to realise I have actually bought "4813" twice instead of 4822 and 4813. =/

Why like that arh?

I could probably go on and on and on.... But what's the point, ya?

What's the point of blaming fate and the world for getting me where I am today; Unhappy, Faithless, way behind my peers, single and feeling inferior...

Almost two months ago, an old friend of mine shared a very inspirational video on her Fb wall.

The video gave me goosebumps, the good kind. I didn't expect her to pick herself up and not only complete the race but finish first too! Her effort feels almost superhuman to me. But I am human, I think. Will I be able to do what she did? I don't ask to come in first. I will be glad if I could just complete the race... ... ...

Companionboat, you with me?

突然心血来潮。。。

。。。就录了萧敬腾的新歌，"悲爱"!

Song's a little oily... But I like! =P =X

It's a very very new song arh.. Like last week just debut on the radio... so as I always say, "still not very familiar with the song la!" Enjoy if you may! =D I sure enjoyed learning/ singing it!

蕭敬騰 - 悲愛 [歌詞/LYRICS]

曾經跟你夢想避開了風雨

尋找一個專屬我們的天地

可惜明明相遇　抵不過天意

也許我的結局　是永遠孤寂

原來我越愛你　越會傷害你

兩個人的身影　是悲哀的距離

只要還在一起　我該怎樣放棄

就讓風和云相遇　演一場命運悲劇

才發現當天要下雨　後悔莫及

最悲的戀愛　是決定分開

我一直依賴　上天的安排

雪花蒼白　變成塵埃

夢境已經回不來

最悲的離開　是永遠分開

一個人承受　所有的傷害

你是否已化成　孤獨的雲彩

剩下我這一個傷痕累累的心

自由自在

原來我越愛你　越會傷害你

兩個人的身影　是悲哀的距離

只要還在一起　我該怎樣放棄

就讓風和雲相遇　演一場命運悲劇

才發現當天要下雨　後悔莫及

最悲的戀愛　是決定分開

我一直依賴　上天的安排

雪花蒼白　變成塵埃

夢境已經回不來

最悲的離開　是永遠分開

一個人承受　所有的傷害

你是否已化成　孤獨的雲彩

剩下我這一個絕望的心等待

最悲的戀愛　是決定分開

我一直依賴　上天的安排

雪花蒼白　變成塵埃

夢境已經回不來

最悲的離開　是永遠分開

一個人承受　所有的傷害

你是否已化成　孤獨的雲彩

剩下我這一個傷痕累累的心

自由自在

Just finished watching the final episode of "Double Bonus". And just like any other CNY shows/ movies, It has a happy, 大团圆 ending with lots of noise and laughters. Everyone has suddenly 看开了 and all grudges have suddenly been buried overnight... How very nice.

If only life is this simple.

I had a rather bad weekend. I was back in the "mode" again... unable to feel myself and questioning my existence. Sunday morning, I woke up at 9 plus wanting to have breakfast, get out and shake off that mode of mine but couldn't. I wanted to connect with the people outside so I left my door open. Moments later, HE is seen parading his FEMALE cosplay costume along my corridor. He walked to and fro no less than three times before I decided enough was enough and promptly shut my door and retreated back into my hole. The home is now just a house, housing individuals, weird individuals. It has lost it's soul. It used to be a lively place filled with warmth and love. I could even feel life in the toys I had. I had a much healthier 心态 then. Now, the moment I wake up, all I feel are negative feelings. The moment I open the door to the world outside I feel like shutting myself back in again. And you know what's even worse than all the ill feelings I feel? It is the feeling of guilt for having the feelings I have towards them and the whole situation. Now, please allow me to let out a scream of frustration,

"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

I could have just stayed in bed for the whole of Sunday(and perhaps forever) but there are still a few reminders forcing me to acknowledge that I am actually still alive. So, I dodged the costume guy, the dancing gal in weird shades and the hysterical woman who LOL after every sentence she make and dashed towards and out of the gate and into the lift and made my way to pay the bills/ tax and to replenish stocks for my business. When I got back, I slipped in one of the last 3 DVDs I have left(You are the apple of my eye) and hoped it could inspire some feelings in me. And somehow, somehow, the DVD died on me right at the last chapter of the movie. Sigh~~ Why always like that arh?

*shrugs shoulder*

*waves, waves*

PS: Stop looking at David Beckham and his H&M underwear la!

等愛的人很多　不預設你會在乎我

難道一生的時間都用來換和你一個誤會

誰能真的讓誰　幸福到故事的結尾

何必那麼的慌張

有時清醒　才是錯誤的開始

我不需要　也不重要

做一個傻子多麼好

我不明白　也不需要明白

就讓我這樣到老

誰能真的讓誰　幸福到故事的結尾

何必那麼的慌張

有時清醒　才是錯誤的開始

我不需要　也不重要

做一個傻子多麼好

我不明白　也不需要明白

就讓我這樣就很好

沒什麼緊要

只需要你輕輕一個擁抱

就算不留下什麼也無所謂

就算留下了什麼也都珍貴　珍貴　珍貴

做傻子多麼好

我不明白　也不需要明白

就讓我這樣到老

這樣到老

My post, today

2012-02-03T07:31:00.014+08:00

Although I am not too sure what's so good about this morning, I am still gonna wish you all Good Morning. So, here is it, "Good Morning, Earthlings!" Hee..

Am kind of glad that it's Friday! I need a plumber to fix the loose pipe on my face and I have been seriously deprived of sleep, but then again, what's new, ya?

Yesterday, I had a rather weird and not too pleasant day which I probably asked for it ba. I tried to pack everything into a day without giving myself any allowance; a full day's work, one dentist session away and my soccer session. There were a few accidents on the road on my way back and I ended up starving myself and turning pale and nausea during and after the soccer session.

自讨苦吃！活该！笨蛋！对，那就是形容海村最好的形容词s！=D>

And in the first place, If I hadn't procrastinate going to the dentist, I wouldn't have to go through these daunting root canal procedures. Each procedure consist of three to four sessions. And each session last about 90 mins! Annnd to think I need it for two of my molars! Hallelujah! Yesterday Dr Jerry started on the second molar. The nerves on the first molar were dead and I didn't need any anesthesia but the nerves on this second one were only half dead(Dr Jerry's Words), which means yesterday's session involved needles(big and small ones) and blood along with the usual drills, files, and lots of poking! But to me, the most uncomfortable part was having to balance the saliva that has built up on the surface of the throat. I constantly felt like choking. I hate leaving the suction thingy in my mouth as the sound coming from it is pretty intimidating and that the suction dries up my throat and makes it itchy which in turn causes me to cough. Just imagine having to cough or sneeze when your mouth is fixated with some weird looking instruments in a FULLY opened state!

Do I look cool in the special shades? Cyclops maybe? =P

Not a nice experience though. There was once, I couldn't tahan no more and gave a full blown sneeze with a load full of saliva balanced on my throat. The saliva spilled all over my mouth and dripped into the back of my t-shirt. It was pathetic. I was so totally embarrassed. =((

I think I am at least slightly insane too for even turning up for the soccer session; My soccer gears were at home, I was starving and I just gone through a very "thrilling" 90 mins with Jerry which left me partially numbed. And due to the accidents, I rushed like mad after finally getting my gears. Annnd just like how things ALWAYS turn out for me, it started to rain just as I was approaching the gate to my soccer place! Hurray! And just after I took my phone out to tweet about it, my phone went dead! Armitoufou~~~ If that wasn't mad enough, I drove in, instead of giving up and heading for dinner. And I think I finally touched the almighty with my perseverance as he stopped the rain for me shortly after. He even rewarded me by letting my first kick of the ball(which happen to be a shot at goal) ricochet off the goal post and then letting my second touch of the ball meet with a misplaced tackle from Thomas which landed right below my knee, leaving behind his boot mark! Thank you very much! =p =X

And oh Shit! I forgot my pills! arghhh.... Hope the pain will be manageable.

End of story and thank you for reading.

Moral of the story?

Always arrange your duckies in the order of biggest to smallest?

Nah!!!! More like; 病从浅中疫! Do Not procrastinate! Always gives allowance! And don't try to be a hero!

That's all folks.

Ok, bye!

Ps: I am just moderately mad la. Just felt a duty to turn up ma. Eric took the effort to organise week in week out and the least I could do is respond to his messages promptly and to turn up? No?

Pursuit of Happyness

2012-01-31T14:38:00.004+08:00

Well said, Mr Will Smith. But hor, the "someone" has often been myself lei... Like that how ah?

For the umpteenth times...

2012-01-31T07:49:00.009+08:00

......TIME FLIES!~!

Not too long ago I was just counting down to the dreaded "period of gloom" And now it's already 初九(day 9 of CNY)! And soon... soon... normal life will be restored, routine will resume.

After the longest break I have had since forever, I am finally back in business! Three cheers to a prosperous year ahead! Huat Ah! Huat Ah! Huat Ah! Hee!

Actually hor, it's kind of sad lei... I spoke about dreading the "period of gloom" and spoke about dreading my routine sometimes... Mm.. doesn't that mean I simply dread life! Oops.. *Paddles harder* *Left, Right, Left Right...* Row row row our boat gently down the stream... Merrily merrily merrily merrily... Tee Hee... Hee =D

~~~~~~~~~

This year is probably the first time in 23 years that not a single relative came over to my place to 拜年. But that is to be expected ba. Ah Ma's is at Big Aunt's place now, Mummy is overseas, and everybody is shunning from somebody due to various reasons. Sadly, the only person(probably) that could have salvage these wretched relationships is now but a portrait on the wall.

Actually there was one other year that no one visited, but that is not counted la. That year, all of us went over to The Philippines where Uncle Larry and Uncle Francis and family were. All 20 over of us took the plane together. That also happen to be the first time I ever took a plane... I remember the air pollution in Manila was really bad and I felt sick the moment we touched down. Annnyways, I manage to dig out a few pictures we took then when I got home last night =)

Some dormant volcano. Super super windy.. I like!
Horse riding for the first time!

We were riding these horses round and round a track and I remembered half way through the first round, my horse went off track and went right into the middle of the grass field and started chewing on the grass! I was pretty embarrassed but It was kind of funny la... Ha =D... Poor old horsey though, he must have been starved and overworked...

And can you believe it? I still have that T-shirt I wore back then! That must have been some 20 years ago!!?? Wow! This just goes to show what kind of a person I am.. Hee!

Mm.. here are some more CNY pictures; Present ones!:

Cat Riding on CNY eve!

Vegetarian meal from Ah Ma on 初一！好好吃哦！Especially love the sausages!

After the lovely meal ah ma painstakingly(she said she woke up before 5am to prepare) prepared, I proceeded to the concert hall to watch my talented nephews freestyling. They have never had any formal lessons yet are able to play the piano and guitar. How I wish I am as musically inclined. I so want to be able to play an instrument lor...

stole a video of them in action:

At Tua Kou's house. When I was much younger, I used to remove the brown covers to reveal the cottony stuff within.

初四；See blood again! same spot for the third consecutive week! Pretty amazing... How will it ever heal? Gonna leave a big ugly scar le! =(

That's all? Those were the only pics/ videos I took throughout the week long "celebration"... Ya.. that just goes to show how much celebration I had.

好吧，又没话可说了。就这样吧，地球人。

再见！

Something's wrong somewhere

2012-01-24T21:41:00.004+08:00

Have been in bed, trying to get to sleep since an hour and a half ago, but simply couldn't. Just not feeling right somewhere, somehow. So, I decided to talk to someone and found myself at My little Space again.

CNY this year seems strangely subdued. Everyone(me inclusive) seemed to want to just get it over and done with. It has lost it's meaning. Earthlings nowadays do things more because they have to than because they want to. We have morphed into these soulless creatures... who care mostly for ourselves. It is almost always just about me. And I am afraid, we can never truly appreciate occasions like these any more. There is something seriously wrong with what the world is becoming and I feel sad yet helpless and ashame to be all a part of this evolution.

Sidetrack a little; As I am typing away, the news in the background is reporting some "news" in some food courts. The reporters are interviewing food court patrons and asking them what they feel about the 10-15% raise in food prices over the Holidays. All of those interviewed have nothing but complaints, "it's not fair! They are exploiting the occasion....bla bla bla.... blablabla...".

Again, its about "me", "me", "me" and "me" having to pay mm... 50 cents - a dollar more?! Why isn't any thoughts given to the food vendors? They are working on a public holiday when everyone else is celebrating. A lot of them are thousand of miles away from their family. I don't think a 10-15% price hike is too much to ask.

~~~~~~~~~

On the eve of CNY, we were instructed to go to Bright hill Temple to pay respect to my late daddy. So, again I did what I have to instead of what I want to. I have never liked going to places of worship. And I can never quite understand the point of it all. I believe that when one dies, he dies. Sometimes his electromagnetic field remains. And that's that. I feel religions are simply earthlings way of dealing with the loss of loved ones. Temples, Churches, Mosques and it's teachings/ traditions are simply an evolution of those "make beliefs". I guess It is just soothing to know that the loss ones are in a better place watching over us and not actually gone, for good. These places of worship has also often been exploited by the very people that preaches the religion... ... ....

~~~~~~~~~

When a person means enough to you, he or she will be in your heart. An occasion or a deliberate action isn't necessary to prove it.

放假咯！

2012-01-20T18:37:00.004+08:00

Newspapers, Magazines

Checked!

DVDs

Checked!

Candies and Tidbits

Checked!

Oars

Checked

Ok, I am all set for the Longggggg Break!

/hmm

Start of the week-long break!

2012-01-20T07:24:00.008+08:00

The roads were totally clear when I was on my way to work this morning. Seems like most have already begun on their extended CNY holidays! Well, mine is about to start too. 4 more hours to go! Hurray! Not too sure what I am going to do with so much free time though. It will start with an appointment to Dr Jerry, that I know and dread. But after that? *shrug shoulder* I've got 6 DVDs which I have yet to watch and tonnes of sleep debts to pay, if they lalaliens allow me to. Mm... Is it too late to book a short trip to somewhere nearby and just sleep away the 7 days? Hee....

~~~~~~~~~

Had a pretty good soccer session last night even though the turnout wasn't too good. Only 11 of us... So many went to fly kites! (*)^^%%$#&^%@

见血了!

I was starving after my soccer session and decided to go Ta Pao MacDonald's and was met with two surprises! One pleasant and one mm... not quite so =/ The first surprise was presented to me when I stepped out of the house. The new "personal lift" was in service!

Here it is... finally ready after so long! =)

So, I took the lift down and when I got back after getting my food, I was met with my second surprise right upon reaching my doorstep! GIANT MEAT BALL IN TOWELS! And you know what? The door was opened! And there the meat ball was parading in my "Leaving" room! What's wrong with these people mm.. meatballs arh? Have they no decency? No shame? Am I being too mean with my words here? Nah, don't think so.

Annnyways, apart from the not so pleasant surprise, the rest of the day had been rather nice. Lots of paddling, enjoyable soccer session, a few orders to process, exciting channel U show and a smooth entry into mmm... LALALAND! =P =X wished I could have stayed there a litttttle longer though.

~~~~~~~~~

Last night I had yet another muddleheaded episode. I left my earnings at the stall, again! Haicun ah Haicun will you ever change? Mm.. this brings me to another question; If one day I no longer am muddleheaded, does it mean I will be less me? After all, isn't the traits we have that shaped us into who we are? All good and bad ones...? mm...

好啦暂时就这样啦。。。

没活可说了。

再见地球人！

Another New Week

2012-01-16T07:53:00.007+08:00

Yet another week has ended and yet another week has begun. 不知不觉 we are into the third week of 2012 and the Earth is still spinning. I am still a Hawker. And even though my life is still pretty mundane, I have been posting a lot more than has been. And this post is getting no where. The never ending Ding Dong Chiang songs on the radio is drying up my creative brain cells and driving me crazy... =/ It is also reminding me that CNY is just around the corner. I am gonna off you once the morning show is over!

Last night, Auntie Lulu called and told me that they(her entire family) will be away for the whole CNY period too! Great. And the trend continues. One day it may well be just me on a boat in the middle of the open sea under the moonlight and the stars that we don't always see but are always there...

Mm... Mummy left for The States early Sunday morning and will only be back a month from now. I think I am most definitely going to lose weight..

This was the last meal she prepared for us before she left.

很好吃哦！

And this was the last meal I prepared before I slept last night! =P

Phone is speaking!.....

Cool, just received another order of 35, 15, 35! Nah, not the vital statistics of a lady. I am not a pimp. The Statistics mean 35 chicken Curry Puff, 15 Sardine Puffs and 35 Curry Puffs. This should cover some of the "lost ang paos" this year I guess! Keke... No shame ah, Haicun! 31 le still thinking about getting Ang Paos!

/dignose

Kay la, enough of ramblings for now. Gotta go fill my tummy le...

Goodbye Earthlings and have a good week ahead! =D

Tata.

Naked Child

So, if you want to have the ease of a naked child, don't start on that first lie! HEE!

Weird behaviour from our pet fish

2012-01-14T16:06:00.004+08:00

Somebody's very grumpy today because someone ate her pork rib! Hee.. Must be pre-holiday anxiety la. After all Mummy hasn't been away for so long in a long long long time le. Furthermore, this time she is leaving behind a lot more burdens and uncertainties at home...

Annnyhow, I managed to squeeze a little light hearted moment out of her a while ago!

I think there is something seriously wrong with the house. Even the fishes are behaving weirdly! keke.. Gotta get a Fengshui master or something...

Actually I would prefer to just move out la!

Recorded this while my mum was shopping for her shoes last Saturday. Pretty rushed session. Don't like Don't like. Could certainly have sung better... HEE!

Notice the part in bold? mm.. sounds pretty familiar...

Annnyhow, enjoy if you may ba =)

忘記分開後的第幾天起

喜歡一個人　看下大雨

沒聯絡　孤單就像連鎖反應

想要快樂都沒力氣

雷雨世界像場災難電影

讓現在的我　可憐到底

對不起　誰也沒有時光機器

已經結束的　沒有商量的餘地

我希望你　是我獨家的記憶

擺在心底　不管別人說的多麼難聽

現在我擁有的事情

是你　是給我一半的愛情

我喜歡你　是我獨家的記憶

誰也不行　從我這個身體中拿走你

在我感情的封鎖區

有關於你　絕口不提　沒問題

雷雨世界像場災難電影

Heart Warming Reunion Dinner Commercials

2012-01-13T13:32:00.009+08:00

Soccer, new boots, loads of sweat released but I don't think the body produced enough or any endorphins last night. I am not feeling any better. But at least, I slept, slept before 12, I think.

Woke up and realised i have dropped my oar into the uncharted waters... i can see the oar floating in a distance but i cant swim. How am i ever gonna retrieve it then? Let it drift, let it drift and let me drift with them too ba...

mm.. watched a few commercials mentioned in Dr Woffles article and got all teary-eyed again. Forever so emo =/ No good no good. Got to learn to keep my emotions in check.

Once lost, some feelings are gone for good, replaced with void, void that can never be filled again.

Customer N

2012-01-13T08:03:00.005+08:00

A week before Christmas:

Customer N: I have to eat your Sardine Puffs today!

Me: Why so, N?

Customer N: I am going to spend Christmas and the New Year in The Philippines.

Me: Oh, have a good trip, have fun and have a good holidays! Bon Voyage! :)

Customer N: I am gonna miss you!

Me: HEE

A few moments ago:

Customer N: Flashes big big smile at me as she approaches my stall.

Me: Flashes back my magawatts smile! :D

Customer N: Do you miss me? I miss you!

Me: mm.. *silly grin*.. i certainly do... Welcome Back!

Customer N: How has things been?

Me: A little slow lately..

Customer N: Is it because I am not around?

Me: Probably.. HEE again :D

Customer N: See you soon, Calvin!

If only the majority of my customers are as sweet and nice... Life would be so much easier.

Make love, not war!

2012-01-12T19:30:00.004+08:00

I am a peace loving person who never like confrontations. No matter how unhappy i am with what i see when i step home each day, i will just let it be. Perhaps you can also call me weak or soft ba. Mama made her displeasure known to Ah Ma a while ago. But i doubt anything will change. It takes more than a few harsh words to change the mindset of a 90+ year old. Anyhow, i do hope mama feels better after my reassuring/ tension easing massage and after letting off her frustrations ba. Alrighty then.. Off to soccer now. See you then. Bye bye now.

"Make love, not war" and the world shall be a much better place. In other words, Peace is better than war la!

Ciaoz...

Accidents, New Item and a first purchase of 2012 for myself.

2012-01-12T07:45:00.021+08:00

The day didn't start off too well today. I literally jumped out of bed at 0540. I can't remember what I did to the alarm(my phone) as I found it buried under a pile of pillows/ bolsters and my blanket when I finally awoke =/ This is so unlike me. I am usually an extremely light sleeper. And because the blanket was on the phone and not me, the flu bug entered me :-..|

I rushed through the morning routine and hurriedly left the house.

While on my way to work, I wrongly anticipated the green light while nearing one of the junctions and so didn't apply enough brake beforehand and had to step on the brake rather abruptly...

And this was what happened at the back of my van:

Warning! You are about to view some "gory gory images"

Sadly, this mini "accident" resulted in several minor abrasions to the infant puffs...:

...one serious injury...:

...and one fatality! (I think he is dead) =X

真是惨不忍睹啊!

So while attempting to shave a few seconds off, I ended up wasting a lot more time, killing an infant Sardine Puff and dampening my mood! Arghhhh.... *Starts singing Rihanna's Unfaithful, "I don't wanna be... a murderer!" lalalalalala* HEE.

Lesson learnt? Sure hope so. =D

Annnyways, after clearing up the mess, I went on with my routine at the stall. Today, I introduced a new item to the menu:

Tempura Chicken Nuggets

Sure look and taste yummilicious, don't they? Let's see how it does ba

~~~~~~~~~

This week, I bought myself a pair of street soccer boots. My old pair has a hole right below my right toe and all the subsequent socks I wore to play now have holes at the spot right below my right toe

=))

Ta dang!

好看吗？Will be giving my new pair of boots his début tonight if weather permits! But hor, not sure if I still have any un-torn socks to wear lei. kekeke...

Buying a pair of shoes is probably no big deal to most. But apart from the necessities, that torn pair of boots along with my Nokia N9 and an Eason Chan CD were the only purchases I made in 2011! Quite pathetic hor? =X

~~~~~~~~~

This post is titled Accidents, New Item and a..... Notice the "s" at the back of "Accident"?

Well, when I got home, I was greeted by a terrible sight to behold!

凯文 was slumped on the ground, butt facing up and seemingly unconscious!

Who did this to you! Or was it, why did you do this(suicide)?

Mystery remains unsolved

/hmm

*shrugs shoulder*

But I should say, writing has often been therapeutic for me. It helps me gather my thoughts... Happy moments are re-lived, while the frustrations/ helplessness are dispersed and shared with whoever are reading.

The "now dreaded CNY" is just around the corner. But this also mean that the extended period of gloom I spoke about is about to come to an end! Routines can finally be resumed! It's not that I have a very interesting routine, but but routines are good la! Well, at least to me. This extended period of gloom has been rather disruptive to my work. So... Hurray it is..... la! :P

While the rest of the Chinese Earthlings are soaked in the festivities, I will take out my binoculars and diligently steer the boat. I am sure there will be a habitable island in sight. Don't give up! Please.

Brand New Week

2012-01-09T09:56:00.007+08:00

Hello Earthlings =) 海村 woke up feeling fresh and rested this morning! I Finally slept! Appetite has been good too. Probably because I have been feeling a little more relax than I have been. Paid a whole lot of sleep debts on Sunday. After the hearty hearty breakfast at Chong Pang, mummy went home to prepare this:

Inspired by the Maggi Goreng(white) from Prata House!

Yummy Yummy! How nice it would be if mummy doesn't ever have to work! =P Anyway, the cheese nuggets you see in the picture tasted pretty good too. Am considering selling those at my stall as they are really really cheap. We bought them at Giant Supermarket on Saturday at about $3 per big packet! I think I am hearing "ka-ching, ka-ching, ka-ching! =D

After stuffing myself silly with food yesterday, I retreated to my room to listen to the 933 Chart show while reading 8 days. Love these "me time" thoroughly. However chaotic the world "outside" may be, I am very grateful to still have this space I can call my own. After about an hour and a half, the sleepy feeling finally kicked in... And so, I drifted into lalaland with the thoughts Dr Woffles' article provoked at the back of my mind... And for the first time in a long time, I stayed there long enough to be able to feel rested =)

Sunday evening was nice too.. I went to 848 to get some stuffs ready for business today, ta pao-ed dinner home for mummy and most importantly to fetch poor old Mr Kangaroo back from the foreign carpark! Hee...

There was a big match on last night. A Manchester Derby! Matches don't get any bigger than this in England! Manchester United vs the Rich Noisy Neighbours!

Look, who I spotted in the stands! David Beckham and his kids!

Oops... looks like someone think the match was boring. Next time cover your mouth ah! Don't be rude! =D

And last night good old Fergie handed everyone a big big surprise! He re-signed one of Manchester United's old stalwarts!

=D>=D>=D>

And see that score on the top left? Crisis at the club? What crisis?

And so, the victory concluded what was already a very lovely day for me... and I slipped right back into lalaland in my green disguise to play five stones with the lalaliens~~

Looking forward to another good week ahead!

Tata~

Muddleheaded Me

2012-01-08T12:36:00.005+08:00

Mmm... Last evening when I reached our carpark, I couldn't spot Mr Kangaroo and wondered where he was. Thought for a while but can't seem to recall. I was really tired and went home without finding out.

This morning while out with mummy again, I suddenly remembered that after the traumatic episode with Dr Jerry, I hop Mr Kangaroo to 848 to Ta Pao comforting dinner home. After the food was ready, I WALKED home! And left my poor kangaroo in a foreign carpark for the next two days!

Actually there is another muddleheaded episode I want to share here de... But guess what? I forgot what it was that I wanted to share!!!

Aikkkkkkkkssss....

Haicun ah Haicun...

*points to the lalaliens* Their fault! =(

Mummy Dearest, Monkey Tragic and the JB trip that started well but ended not too well...

2012-01-08T08:45:00.008+08:00

Weekend's here and I have a date with my mummy dearest! She is finally taking a well deserved, long overdue break from her crazy working hours both as the founder of Lucy & Family and the head of the family! Everyone needs a break, even superwoman mum! =)

The day started pretty early at The Prata Place where we had a simple breakfast before we made our way across the causeway.

Careful Mr Wallet, don't fall off the edge and into oblivion!

When we were passing through the Mandai area, something terrible happened. A Monkey dashed across the road and I had to step on the breaks to avoid hitting it. However the van in front wasn't as alert and that poor little animal just lay that, motionless. *sobsob* Little Monkey's parents must have forgotten to teach him that 过马路，要小心，先看左，在看右，才能过吗！Sigh~

~~~~~~~~~

As we were pretty early, traffic was smooth. Mummy saw a pair of shoes she liked when we went in last week, so I brought her back to the same shopping mall. I asked her how long she needed and she said an hour. I was hoping for more actually... as I wanted to use that time to go "k" a little.. Hee.. anyhow.. an hour is fine, and we went our separate ways to do our separate things.

Soon, an hour passed. Too soon, but never mind la. This trip isn't just about me. =) Next up, was Giant Supermarket where we spent the next 90 mins or so going through every department in a leisurely manner; one that I have not experience in a long time. I am impressed. I was always rushing. It is almost impossible for me to stay in a supermarket for 30 mins, let alone 90! I usually just decide what to buy before I go in and grab them at super sonic speed and then head for the cashier. mm.. what's gotten into me?

Lunch was next. A simple Yong Tau Hu for mummy and dried curry chicken noodle for me. Very tasty I should say. We then made our way to the last stop in JB for the day; Contact lenses at Holiday Plaza. When I was about to leave that place, I met with a road bully for the first time in my life!

My car was parked by the side of the road. And traffic along that road was quite heavy. While I was turning the car into the flow of the traffic, a JB car in front of me purposely stepped on his brake despite the fact that there were space in front of him to move forward. I duly stepped on mine too. I was very very close to him, but I did not hit him. Soon the road ahead of his car was clear. He moved a bit and stopped again. Again I break immediately and did not hit him. I waited for him to move away but he refuse to. Soon he got out of his car acting all burly and aggressive. *Yawns... give me a break, actor* I knew what was coming but got out nonetheless. He insisted I have hit his car blablabla when it was pretty clear the damage his car had was done by someone else. The paint mark on his rear bumper was of a different colour to our's. And there was also a gap of about 1 cm between his car and mine when I got out. He hasn't move an inch neither have I reversed the car before we got out. Annnyhow, I wasn't intimidated by his emm.. mannerism? aggression? whatever he is trying to instil la. I reasoned with him once and know it will get nowhere. I just pat him on his back, smiled and told him nicely that there was no need for all these aggression(acting actually). Calm down dude. And promptly asked him, "so what do you want from me?" And oh, he also make it known that he has another car of friends with him right behind our car. Then out came the eggs! "$100! You give me $100 and I will let the matter rest!" Wala! there it is. =) I thought for a moment and remembered I have only about $40 Singapore dollars left in my wallet and almost no Ringgits left after the 90 min shopping spree. So I told him, I will give you $40 Sing and that's that. And of course he took it. Well, use that money well, ya? Go use it for some acting classes or use it to see the doctors ba.

mm.. sometimes some money just have to be spent(thrown actually). There was really no point in approaching that situation in another manner. It is not worth it. I am in a foreign land with my mum, aggression with the unreasonable will do us no good I reckon.

So, we then made our way back and after crossing the causeway, and upon reaching Mandai, I kept a look out at the opposite of the road, hoping I will not see the carcass of the poor little monkey. Hoping that he had somehow woken up and moved to the side of the road before being hit again. But soon enough, I was met with a pile of meat mess. *goosebumps and the sour feeling engulfed* Could I have done more?

Many many years back, My dad had a somewhat similar incident. While driving along the same stretch(I think), he saw a turtle racing on the road(the rabbit's no where in sight though =X). Despite the oncoming traffic, daddy turn on the hazard lights, stopped his car, risk his own safety and got down to rescue the turtle. All the cars behind came to a halt to witness this heroic act! We could almost hear a collective cheer when daddy pick up that teenage mutant ninja turtle! HEE! The turtle then became our pet for the next few years and got bigger and bigger till we have to move it to the private house we once had where it eventually got lost in the garden for good...

Hmm... could I have done the same then? Could I have saved a life too? Sigh~~

Don't say liao la... sian... anyways that wasn't the end of the day la.. we went a few other places and got a few other things done and out of the way. Fulfilling day overall =)

My spoils

Goodbye Earthlings~~

Am waiting for my turn to see Dr Jerry. So so sleepy. Hope i can simply sleep through the whole procedure lor. One stone kill two birds; pay my sleep debts and get my first of don't know how many sessions with him out of the way.

This place smells so good and the sofa's so comfy. Why do i only get sleepy when i can't?

*Yawnz* I've got nothing more i want to say le... oh.. one last parting phrase....

I AM SO HUNGRY TOO!

Some just have it, some just don't...

..."It" here refers to "人缘". Quite simply put, some Earthlings are born irritating! Their "sense of humour" often make no sense. And picking the wrong time to say the wrong things is second nature to them. But these Earthlings, well some of them at least, often meant no harm la and are just trying to "engage". Annnd Since I am lucky enough to be born with it(I think), I shall be gracious to those less fortunate ones! =))

忍! 忍! 忍！

*Takes 3 deep breaths* OK... I am ready to face the world again! :))

~~~~~~~~~

Have been trying hard to gain some weight. Gotta look the part, ya? So, despite the fatigue from the long day I had and the evening soccer session, I made myself these!

Yummalicious they were!

Hard to squeeze everything in when the distance of the camera and the subjects is only an arm's length. Got a cramp on my neck right after the shot! :D

Mm... Gotta go pay Dr Jerry a visit later on. Mixed feelings...

Have a good day Earthlings, both fortunate and less fortunate ones.

Tata! =D>=D>

Hello Eaaaarrrrrrthhhhhhhhhhhlinnnnnnngggggs! A very good morning to you all! =D Hee!

It's weird, I barely slept but I woke up this morning feeling alert. I was super efficient too. Unloaded loads of stuff from Little Kangaroo's pouch, prepared for the order and filled up the warming showcase all within an hour! Perhaps the Duracell Bunny possessed me! =P =X I think I am becoming Andy Lau(minus the fame and wealth); He spoke about sleeping only 4 hours on average a day!

This brings me to a question; If one sleeps less hours a day does it mean he is actually living a longer life than a person who dies the same age as he does but who also sleeps more? mm.... And also, does being awake equate to being alive? more Mms... =P =X

Annnyways, played my first game of Mahjong for 2012 after a long hiatus. I won $10. Hurray! Lol... Was suppose to go across the causeway de but they had a change of plan at the 11th hour.

The moment I got home, I suffered blurred vision. Not exactly blurred vision... It was like the effect of having just looked into the bright sun, except it lasted much longer. *shrugs shoulder* The "light" kept me awake for a long long time. Maybe my brain was mimicking my phone charging itself!? arhh.. That explains why I am more alert this morning!

Who let the SkkkeeeleeBear out of the closet while I was out? Who? who? Never mind la, 凯文 shall spend the night right by my side.

Ohoh... Sudden brain freeze!!!

Gotta go get some hot tea 'o' gao to melt it.

byebye!

Gum is swelling again but not much pain this time. Dr Franky had probably removed the nerves in my tooth that day? eiks.. So those red bloodied strands were actually nerves? *shrugs shoulder* Can't wait to see Dr Jerry... mm.. nah... not really actually. Don't think anyone enjoy a trip to the dentist. So, I guess I just can't wait to get my teeth fixed ba. Bah Kwas and other CNY goodies are waiting for me to chomp on! But then again the goodies without the loveys ain't exactly goody eh? * awkward smile*

~~~~~~~~~

Didn't sleep well again last night. Had a series of dreams throughout the few hours my eyes were shut. Forgotten all but one of the dreams in which I was in a camp being chased and bullied by some meano NSmen. I googled for an interpretation for my dream and the search returned many results. Apparently "being chased" is a pretty common dream theme, stemming from feelings of anxiety and stress in our waking life. And it says our response in our dream often parallel to how we would respond to pressure, or cope with fears, stress or various situations in our waking life. mm.. pretty interesting..

Annnyways, after a succession of long weekends in which I did nothing, I don't feel any more refreshed. And here I am, back drawing straight lines. Well I guess this ain't exactly a bad thing ba. At the very least, i am still capable of drawing those straight lines. From time to time though. there are certain people, activities or things which helps deviate those straight lines.... And here is one of them.

Love my Ghirardellis =P... Left one last packet in the fridge though...

I think a make I pretty good photographer... What say you? =)

人间有爱。。。

2012-01-01T20:55:00.004+08:00

Was doing the usual stuff I do when the mood comes... I was singing and recording myself singing... Halfway through, someone knocked on the door and I went to open it. It was Minah.

Awhile ago, she saw me spreading some peanut butter onto two pieces of bread. It was her off day and she mentioned she was meeting her friend at Northpoint. She offered to buy me KFC but I said it is ok. Bread and butter is fine. 2 hours later, perhaps noticing i haven't had anything to eat since morning, she came back with a box of "Happiness Plate" and told me it's her treat! awwww... Minah... Despite the plight she is going through, and the wei qu she has been suffering for a while now, she didn't forget to spread some warmth. 人间还是有爱的。。。

And so, the video had an unexpected cameo appearance from her = ) This video was never suppose to see any light de... but since it captured this moment of warmth, I have decided to preserve it in my "A walk down memory Lane"...

Pardon the horrible singing and the rag I was wearing. Very unglam i know... but who cares, YA? =)

How my year started...

2012-01-01T10:50:00.010+08:00

No Gloom! No Gloom! No Gloom! No Gloom! No Gloom! No Gloom! No Gloom! No Gloom! No Gloom! No Gloom! No Gloom! No Gloom! No Gloom! No Gloom! No Gloom! No Gloom! No Gloom! No Gloom! No Gloom! No Gloom! No Gloom! No Gloom! No Gloom! No Gloom! No Gloom! No Gloom! No Gloom! No Gloom! No Gloom! No Gloom!

Hee.... sorry.. just gotta remind myself before I start getting all gloomy again.

So... how did my year start... Well... At the stroke of 12, fireworks could be seen on my TV screen and also from outside my windows. There were Earthlings screaming and doing things earthlings do...

I needed to answer nature's call and so I got out of bed, got out of my room and headed for the toilet. Guess what greeted me? A GIANT MEAT BALL wrapped in towels standing in the toilet with the doors open!!! Happy New Year to you... =/ I turned around immediately..

Minah knew I was pissed and gave me an awkward smile. But nature's call's still calling. So, I headed for mummy's room. Mummy was snoring away and the toilet door was shut. But as the aircon was on, i didn't think much about the toilet door being shut and so I slid the door open....

Wala! My Khor Khor was seated on the bowl with newspaper in his hands! Oops.. Sorry Khor. Mm... Happy New Year? And perhaps your new year resolution shall be to remember to lock the door when you use the bathroom? =X

Ya... i had a pretty interesting start to 2012! Hope my fellow Earthling did too.. well not exactly the same kind of interesting la... =)

Have a good year ahead... one better than the last!

My Kangaroo

2011-12-31T11:49:00.010+08:00

A belated Happy Birthday to my dearest Kangaroo. You came into our lives eight years ago, the day before yesterday =X, on the 29th December 2003!

The family wasn't doing too well the period before you came and I only got my license a few days after the last remaining ride was sold. So, you could probably imagine the excitement I felt when you came into our lives. You were once this spritely little kangaroo, ever ready to hop into action with the twist of the key. But now, eight years later, battle-seasoned and all, it takes more than just a few twists and hammering before you are ready to kick some dirt. It's sad that you no longer sing to me too. But i love you nonetheless... I mean, how can I not. You were there every step of the way during the bleakest moments in my life. You provided me with space when I needed to be alone. You sang and sometimes scream with me when I needed an outlet to vent those frustrations. It is good to have you.

I remember the first time I brushed you against the wall was at Tan Tock Seng Hospital. It was when I first found out about daddy's condition. I am sorry. I was at a lost and I almost lost control of you. In front of everyone else, I tried to be strong and contained my emotions. But when it was just me and you at the carpark that night, I couldn't contain no more and i think I heard you weep silently with me.

The following weeks and months were crazy. And I probably overworked you. Shuttling from KKH to NUH, to Fuji Xerox and to Yishun. No wonder you needed so much maintenance! =)

But It ain't all bad la... You were there when I had fun too. Piggy backing my friends to and fro our weekly soccer sessions at woodlands then. You were there when I went for my weekly rollerblading at East Coast Park then. You were there when I was hungry those late late supper nights. You were there when I went on those KTV sessions. You were, quite basically everywhere I ever was.

mm... So, once again, Happy Birthday Mr Kangaroo and thank you for everything. Live your last two years to the fullest! =)

Say "cheese", Mr Kangaroo! Thanks for waiting for me while I was getting my soccer fix this morning!

If only I have patience like yours! Haha

"别找我麻烦"

2011-12-30T01:35:00.013+08:00

Had an unbelievably good soccer session last night and came back feeling so good about myself and everything else... Every now and then, I become this incredibly quick witted, funny and positive person. I will feel almost invincible, like I have been given a dose of the "magic pill" from the movie "limitless". It feels good. Very good in fact. If this doesn't just happen every now and then, I would have been able to achieve so much more.

Clouds cloud my mind so very often. Too often. Dark dark clouds... These clouds pulls me down. They sap me of my energy. They turn me into this lifeless zombie that people want to shun from. But then they remember who I can be and didn't give me up. Thank you.

I get affected by stuffs too easily. And it doesn't help that I am being exposed to so much negativities day in day out. Sometimes I wish there is a switch to negativities...

mm.. this somehow remind me of a new song from Tanya Chua. It's called '别找我麻烦!' Nice catchy song that captures how I feel from time to time...

oh..oh.. 乌云乌云快走开，你可知道我不常带把伞, 带把伞。。。lalalala。。。

I have embeded the MTV, enjoy if you may. You will. = )

~~~~~~~~~

Since young, we are taught to respect the elders no matter what. But I think this is wrong. Respect needs to be earned. One don't just deserve respect by default of their age, yes? The more you give them this "respect" the more they won't find out they are wrong, no? =)

Have a good weekend my fellow earthlings!

*blows hugs and kisses in abundance* Teehee... hee

I think i am going bonkers.... (II)

2011-12-29T10:43:00.006+08:00

Heh..

Just realised I posted a tweet at around 0330 this morning, when I was suppose to be fast asleep. Try as I may, I simply couldn't figure out why I tweeted the words, "finish egg liao" =/ Can anyone help me recall? And eerily enough, after filling up the warmer this morning, I ordered two half boiled egg(that is before I found out about the tweet). Eiks~~

*Shrugs my shoulder*

This is so so weird.

早起的鸟儿有虫吃。。。

2011-12-28T07:24:00.006+08:00

For me though, it is 早起的海村有 Breakfast Deluxe 吃 =P..

Went to bed starving last night... Woke up at 0450 today and left the house with mummy at 0505. And since it was super early for me, i made a detour to the MacDonald's drivethru to get my breakfast fix! =)

~~~~~~~~~

There is always a mad rush for dental works to be done at the end of the year but Auntie Lulu somehow manage to get a slot for me at her friend's dentistry. Thank you! After the appointment, we took a slow walk to the carpark. And along the way, i could see lots of nice looking people, dressed smartly and some stylishly in their business wear. So different from what i see everyday. =) i know i shouldn't but at that moment, i felt envious.

It was a lovely evening. Lovely breeze, lovely scenery and a general "feel good atmosphere" all around. So, Auntie Lulu suggested to stop for dinner and a beer at Harry's and just soak in the atmosphere. We acted like tourists and starting clicking away... =)

Auntie Lulu had fish and Chips while I had Aglio as they come with Wriggley Curvey Wriggley Curvey Yummy Shrimpy Shrimps! Five of them too! =P..

We spent the next hour or so there chatting and smiling away about all the madness the Sim/ Lim family have seen over the pass years... Despite the "pretty heavy" topic, we had a nice relaxing evening...

~~~~~~~~~

mm.. took this picture before going to the dentist. Why are they taking so long! I want my personal lift now! HEE!

~~~~~~~~~

And lastly, Thank you Mr Berbatov for the Hat-Trick which catapulted Us level on points with the Mad Rich Noisy Neighbour! Keep ploughing away guys! And oh.. look at those Ceps! dont know simi ceps la.. biceps quadracep simi wakor ceps... So nice right? I used to own them lor! USED TO! =(

End of my "all over the place" post =P

That's all folk's...

Dues

2011-12-27T12:32:00.003+08:00

Dues that needs to be paid, needs to be paid. The repercussion i spoke about almost 14 months ago has arrived. Should we pity you, i don't know. What i do know is, nai nai's heart will be shattered. Again.

Just when things(on a whole) are starting to look up, the old ghost is back to haunt you. Just how many more ghosts and monsters are there in and around my family, the almighty only knows =/

I feel the end is near though, things will pick up! They just have to.

mm... that's about all i have time for. A real dentist awaits me! Hope bogus Frankie hasn't done too much damage on me! *fingers crossed = )

Goodbye, Earthlings.

"Swell swell go away...

2011-12-26T10:03:00.005+08:00

Hey wait... that's not what i want! =/

Let me try again...

"Swell swell go away... Don't you dare come back again!"

Yea! that's more like it!

Teehee... Hee! =P

Look like i have stuffed some cotton or food in the right side of my mouth lor =/

破相了！！！

Enjoy the last week of 2011, Earthlings!

My bloody Christmas Eve

2011-12-25T09:42:00.008+08:00

Christmas eve started well enough with a very fulfilling soccer session in which i scored goals at will(this isn't always the case). Everything i touched somehow turned to gold. And it only started raining heavily soon after the session ended. I thought wow.. Lady luck was certainly on my side today!

I couldn't be more wrong. *crows flying over my head now.. 3 of them i think =D*

After the session, i sort of remember vaguely that during one of the "corners" Ah Lo elbow hit my jaw while we were tussling for the ball and i felt pain building up the problematic tooth. I didn't look much into it though. I was having so much fun.

I got home washed up and felt a little tired but it was close to 12 le and i wanted to make sure i had some food before i take my power nap. I am in the midst of trying to regain my lost mass. I brushed my teeth after the twister meal and went to bed with Mr Popper's Penguins and with the tooth still bothering me somewhat.

After the movie and nap, i woke up and waited for invitations... it was Christmas eve after all. However those that came, i wasn't quite interested. At that moment, the pain got worse and i called mummy dearest to get me some panaldols. But shortly after, Thomas called asking if i would like to go Johor with him and Ahwei and without putting much thought into it i said "Ok"! Why not right? It was Christmas eve after all... =)

My nightmare begun! The pain just kept building and building throughout our journey across. Not wanting to be a spoil sport, i tried to tahan. As soon as we reached the eating place, i saw Watson and hurried across the road to get some painkillers. It didn't help. The pain intensified. I swallowed some more. The pain spreaded across my head and down to my neck. They worked on the spread on the dining table while i worked hard on the pills. I finished the whole packet. By then i was pale from the excruciating pain, breaking into cold sweats and i could feel my body temperature rising. My gums started to swell up too. I was in much distress. Seeing my obvious discomfort, They cut short the trip and drove us back. Sorry guys, 我也不想的 : (. As soon as we reached the Singapore side of the custom, Thomas checked out the available dental clinics from his phone and i made a few calls.. but all the dental clinics are all closed for the day. It was Christmas eve afterall =X

I got home, desperate and knocked on mummy's door. She passed me a card of a dentist which operates in the late hours but warned me about the dentist's hygiene. I thought how bad can it be, we are in Singapore! So i called to make an appointment and flew down to the clinic... i was desperate.

How wrong can i be. When i pushed open the door, i was greeted by several weird looking patients seated on several make shift chairs, stools and torn sofas staring at a TV showing some Sheng Shiong sponsored variety show. I tried to locate a clinic assistant but found none. Then one of them pointed to one of the rooms. I knocked and an old man wearing a wig pushed the door slightly open. A weird stench sipped through. He scribbled my name in pencil onto a piece of paper lying around on his messy table. And asked me to wait outside. From the gap, i saw two men who looked to be in their 70s lying on two separate dentist chairs. The room was a complete disaster. More disorganised than my nephews' cabinets. There were empty packet drinks all over the room, files and papers strewn all over and he had 958 playing in the background i think.

I started to have second thoughts but was too weak to do anything. So, I waited and waited and waited some more... More than 2 hours passed and i found myself literally buried deeper and deeper into the torn sofa. I was in agony. Just then my phone spoke again. Mousie Lee sent me a Xmas greetings! =) But before i could reply, it was my turn to go in!

I went in, lay on one of the two dentist chairs not knowing what to expect. Dr Frankenstein checked on my teeth with his slimy fingers and without any gloves on! I tried to communicate with him what my dentist told me i needed to do. But he doesn't seem to understand anything i say. He kept suggesting to me to just extract my tooth and the pain will be gone. =/ i don't wan to lose my tooth! Do you get it? Then i asked him if he could just do something about my pain and get me through the night. He walked away and came back with this giant needle! Pressed my jaw down with his slimy fingers and started injecting me! He walked away again and came back with another shot. When he is done, he pointed at a metal cup by the side. God only knows how many people have used it to gargle. Again, i had no choice! Minutes later(felt like hours though) from the corner of my eye, i saw him opening some drawers seemingly looking for some thing. He took what resemble a surgical knife out from one of the drawers, rinse it hastily against a tap and walk towards me! My nightmare is just about to compound! Standing over me, he ply open my mouth with his bare fingers from one hand and held the knife on the other. He started slicing me! Well part of me la... my gums! =) In between those slices, he would switch between a few different equipments and stuff them all into my mouth, slicing pinching, scrapping, pulling, knocking! It was pretty daunting. I could taste the iron from the blood flowing out of my mouth... ohh... somebody safe me please.. ... ...

Warning: You are about to see some pretty graphic content

"Soon" it was all over. And can you believe it? As i was gargling, Dr Frankenstein actually dozed off while standing over me! I had to wake him up by telling him i am done! How professional.

He then rummage through his drawers and came to me with two packets of capsules... I took it, paid him, left the room and went straight to the washroom... i took a few pitiful glance at myself with bloodstain still on the side of my mouth, wash it off, gargle a few more times, then walked in the rain to my only companion on this eventful Christmas eve, my ailing little grey kangaroo.

*takes a deep breathe*

Don't really know what to make of this whole episode. But lesson learned.

"所谓，病从浅中医" Never delay any medical procedure!

There you have it, My bloody Christmas Eve c",)

Merry Christmas, Earthlings~

Was void of my endorphins fix the past two weeks... and lost a little of the "feel good factor" along with it i think. Have been feeling a lot less bright and alert too... Earthlings look at me and think i am stupid, silly and dumb cause maybe i do look stupid, silly and dumb at times, most of the time. Haha... But i know i am smart, pretty smart, too smart sometimes. If i am or have been dumb or a little dumber, i will be or would have been that little bit happier too... i think =/?

mm... the above gibberish came from absolutely no where. I simply clicked on "new post" and started stripping=P. The brain is a weird and very complex organ. It will be great if i can understand it better, a little better, some day.

Earthlings all around are gearing up to celebrate the end of the year, again. Why? *Shrugs my shoulder* I guess it's just a convenient time for event organisers to earn money and Earthlings' chance to have fun ba.

Had arranged for a "endorphins fix" tomorrow morning at sembawang but with the erratic weather of December, i will have to keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best ba...

X'mas in 2 days, New Year in 8 and CNY in almost a month. Three depressing holidays back to back, making it an extended period of gloom! haha... I am such a negative influence.

Annnnnnyways, no worries. I am no sadder than i was months, years back or this time last year. In fact i feel relatively happier, i think.

Let's just paddle on and see where it gets us ba. Someday the destination will be in sight. Meanwhile just lean back and enjoy the journey ba c",)

Row row row your boat gently down the STREAM, merrily merrily merrily.... lalalalalala

Happy long weekend, Happy Holidays!

These are my companions for the next three days! lol.. shall start with Mr. Popper's Penguins =)

冬至快乐!

冬至节快乐 to all those who are celebrating with their family and loved ones! Enjoy the warmth the family brings! And to all those lucky enough, enjoy the many different flavours of 汤圆 !!! =P.... *drooling lo~~ =X

One day to Friday!!! Yeah!

So much whining!

2011-12-21T11:15:00.008+08:00

Why oh why are there so much whining and blaming about everything related or even remotely associated to the government? I am starting to wonder if i am even living in the same country as everyone else. Ain't we all a part of this country our forefathers and the present government painstakingly built? Why are there no tolerance whatsoever?

Has anyone died? Have you seen or at least read about the railway accidents in India, China and all over the World? The number of lives lost due to the corrupted Governments? What happen to the 24 years of convenience the MRT has brought us? Who demanded the higher frequency that may have resulted in these faults? Why is it that whenever something goes wrongs the blaming games starts but whatever good the Government has done, it is always "We Deserve it"!?

And you know what's worse? The loudest complaints are from people who have benefited(and are still benefiting)from the very system the much malign Government put in place.

I have got this to say to all those whiners out there; ,"Stop whining and get lost! Go find a better country to live in. I have had enough of your whining! Go migrate to North Korea and eat giant rabbits and pizza perhaps! You should be happier there =/

Reality

2011-12-20T09:14:00.003+08:00

How come they don't make songs like that anymore...

Met you by surprise
I didn't realize
That my life would change forever
Saw you standing there
I didn't know I'd care
There was something
special in the air

Dreams are my reality
The only kind of real fantasy
Illusions are a common thing
I try to live in dreams
It seems as if it's meant to be

Dreams are my reality
A different kind of reality
I dream of loving in the night
And loving seems alright
Although it's only fantasy

If you do exist
Honey don't resist
Show me a new way of loving
Tell me that it's true
Show me what to do
I feel something special about you

Dreams are my reality
The only kind of reality
Maybe my foolishness is past
And maybe now at last
I'll see how the real thing can be

Dreams are my reality
A wond'rous world
where I like to be
I dream of holding you all night
And holding you seems right
Perhaps that's my reality

Met you by surprise
I didn't realize
That my life would change forever
Tell me that it's true
Feelings that are new
I feel something special about you

Dreams are my reality
A wond'rous world
where I like to be
Illusions are a common thing
I try to live in dreams
Although it's only fantasy

Dreams are my reality
I like to dream of you close to me
I dream of loving in the night
And loving you seems right
Perhaps that's my reality

Weekend, Johor and calvin

2011-12-19T08:52:00.020+08:00

Hello Earthlings~ It's Monday and Haicun's back in his stall putting on his megawatts smile!

Ya la.. i know.. not so megawatty la(nah.. not referring to the formal somebody of Indonesia.. hee), picture was taken at the end of a long day in Johor ma..

Annnyyway.. i finally made my way across the causeway after shunning it for more a month i think. Had sort of developed a phobia after the bad bad experience the last time round..

And again it was the sight i woke up to that prompted me to pop up of my bed, shower and make my way across. I really hope my mum gets some respect from them soon before things get too sour, ya...?

mm... so... traffic wasn't too bad, took me less than 45 mins to reach KSL from mama's stall. It was almost 1300hrs when i reach and the first stop was to feed me! I think this was the first time i went across alone!

Decided to try out the 旺角茶餐厅 endorsed by Ah Wang(the actor from HK, don't know his real name.. teehee hee)

Ya, that's my left leg accompanying me :P..

Btw, the food sucks.. or maybe i just ordered the wrong items... So.. after the not so delightful lunch with my limbs and the air, i made my way to the supermarket and stock up on my oil and sugar and then to the hair salon... Getting my hair cut has become such a chore ever since.... =(. 18 years it is! How do you find a replacement for that? i don't quite know...

Snapped a picture when no one is watching :P..=X

I may risk sounding gay but i would like to mention that the hair stylist looks really good. He looks like Vaness from F4. In Fact i think he looks even better than him... He has a nice built, is neat and has nicely trimmed eyebrows. After the very long dye and haircut, i bumped into him in the washroom and almost wanted to ask him where he got his brows trimmed... But but the location and the question seems a little inappropriate... Lol... so we just said Hi and then Bye~~

Had wanted to go sing a little before i go home but i heard it has started to rain and it was also getting late... so i decided to just walk around the mall a while~~ And that was when i came across him....... Tadang! he was sitting on the shelf looking all sad and abandoned. I just have to bring him home!

Oh dear, earthlings who are reading must be even more convinced i am gay now! =P..

meet calvin, the orphan teddy i adopted from KSL orphanage

Later that night, i brought mummy and Jim to a S11 branch near AMK to have chicken rice and peanut soup.. On our way there mummy said every time she has porridge alone in her room she will feel very 可联。。。 like 没人爱。。。 awww.... mummy... don't say that... i always eat porridge with you in your room what... 没有meh??? *hug hug la.. next time bring you out to eat more la...

Jim acting all demure and mummy looking good as ever =)

Mummy look very tired here though... (the difference a photographer make..)

Didn't like the way Vaness styled my hair(very not me)... but overall pretty pleased with the cut and colour la... will probably go back to him... ...

mm... Saturday ended well enough with a simple and fulfilling meal and some smiles from everyone.

Sunday morning, i woke up early again as i had some more stocks to replenish and also an order to process...

50 pieces of yummy succulent Lucy Curry Puffs!

Preparation went well enough but the customer was late for a good 50 mins... without even an apology. Where is the graciousness, Earthlings? Where where where? Is it so hard to be just a little nice - cer? Sigh~~

The rest of Sunday has been lazy and uneventful and it rained frogs and mousies throughout the day~

And oh, gonna start filling my warmer again... shall leave this post with some pictures of ah ma's birthday...

Daphne with the sweetest smile, Damien can't wait to have a bite and XHD clapping away to the birthday song

Ah Ma and Yeye Smiling and clapping away.. such a nice sight to behold =D

Ah Ma's expression so cute =)

Will i be celebrating my 80++ birthday with my future wife, kids and grandkids? Will i even be able to live till 80? Or rather do i want to? Gee... so hard to imagine... keke...

The holiday season is just around the corner and earthlings who are going on a holiday, have fun and come back refreshed!!!

Can't help but sometimes wish i have such an entitlement too... Boo....

Blinkymummy's concept of Love~

2011-12-16T13:38:00.007+08:00

Couldn't have said it any better~

As quoted from blinkymummy's blog pos t:

" '爱' is not really an essential ingredient to start a partnership. That misguided understanding is one of the many impediments which the single individual has created for himself. We have been sold too much bullshite and misconceptions about '爱'. So much that we have become addicted to the romantic 'feel good' misconception, refusing to let it go even though it's detrimental to our lives.

'爱' is really an outcome of the partnership, not a pre-requisite.
You will only really find love if you try to go through the process. "

Don't know what title to name la~

2011-12-16T08:13:00.006+08:00

Just finish watching yesterday's episode of A Song to Remember. The last scene was aww so sweet.. The glance from Jiumei was priceless.. Gave me goosebumps again.. Jiumei really put in a very commendable performance in this show. The way she portray the innocence, the earnest and the zest of a poor 16 year old growing up in the 60s is really very convincing. The best of her has probably yet to come. She really brought the role to life!.. must have put in a lot of effort to understand the character and the script. Kudos to her~

~~~~~~~~~

My dear Sis look completely worn out by the time she left for the States. Too much has been packed into the ten short days here. Jie, if you are reading, let me assure you that i will do my best to get rid of whatever monsters there is and lead a happier healthier life for myself and for the family and for you to have one less worry. I will also be keeping my fingers cross for the biopsy results. No more bad news please. And in a month's time, mummy will be there to take good care of you too!!! Hurray =D

~~~~~~~~~

mm.. This has been a rather weird week for me. But weird in a good way i guess... Not quite sure how to put it down in words though... *Smiles~~ mm.. Anyhow, am glad that it's finally Friday! Have been sleeping an average of 4 hours the entire week? Crazy... What's more crazy though is the fact that i am still functioning! I must be on some kind of steroids :P=p:P=p~~~

So much to do over the weekend too... badly need a haircut, need to replenish my stocks, need my weekly dosage of endorphins (stupid KPO security personnel cancelled our court booking last night when she found out the resident is overseas)! 气死人了！Need to catch up on my beauty sleep, need to replenish my dvds, need to tidy up my room and stall, want to learn the new Eason song(finally felt excited over his new song!)~~ arghhh so much to do... I need more steroids!!!

Let's see how much of the above i accomplish ba~~

Till then, Earthlings.... enjoy your little weekend before the Long weekend the following week ba!

Tata~~

And oh... =X=X=X=X

=D

2011-12-15T07:56:00.005+08:00

Yawn~~

Oh.. oh... what time is it again? 7:58am! And i am yawning already? 糟糕。。。糟糕。。。

Woke up earlier than usual today cause i have an order to process... all went well =D

But but.... 我要。。。。睡到自然醒过来！！！！=P

Heezzz.....

就这样了~~ gotta get busy le...

陳奕迅清唱孤獨患者 on 康熙來了

2011-12-14T09:43:00.009+08:00

Looks like i have found it... if you know what i am saying... = )

外向的孤獨患者有何不可... la la la la~~

太好听了!

But the hair.... mm....

Just watched this episode of 康熙來了 and there is a hint of problems surfacing in his marriage..

Sigh~~

In the still of the night~

2011-12-13T23:13:00.005+08:00

It's almost midnight. The neighbourhood is all mellow and peaceful again...

Here i am, staring at the screen wanting but not knowing what to type. A heavy rock has been lifted off my chest and i am finally breathing a little easier. But everything else remains status quo...

Again, instead of feeling, i am asking myself how i should be feeling... Why is this so? Have i lost the ability to feel? But i do laugh and sulk according to the flow of the many dramas i watch ma.

Then why can't i conjure up the necessary feelings in real life? Why must the feelings be premeditated? I want to be able to feel again. I want to get excited over stuffs. I want to be happy happy and with Rick Price's 'If you were my baby' serenading the background, i feel i want to feel in love too... Oh! there... i am feeling... ! Hurray!!! :D

Not sure if anyone understand my gibbers or maybe my gibbers make no sense and are mere gibberish... But make no mistake, Rick Price's 'If you were my baby' is indeed a beautiful song...

mm.. the quieter the night becomes, the louder the mind gets it seems...

Goodnight?

I think that's what i am suppose to say at this time of the day....

Brand New Week

2011-12-12T09:23:00.008+08:00

mm.. Happy Monday? Hopefully =)

Had a rather good sleep last night and woke up fresh! No heavy dreams, no nightmares and oh no zombie chasing too = P! Looking forward to a good week ahead!

~~~~~~~~~~

My dear sis's short trip to Singapore is coming to an end in less than 24 hours... sob sob~~

So much to do, so many people to see, so little time. Poor old sis.. Here are some pics i took last night:

Look, Granny was so happy to see you! Look at the BIG smile on her face!

Ah Ma and Mummy Dearest looking happily at a video of Damien performing:

Double D and their Granddad and Dan:

Don't worry sis, no one's paying attention to your legs! =X

Say hello to Little Teddy

mm.. Don't know what to say, but thank you Sis, for all that you have done for me and the family. We are so lucky to have you. Do treat yourself better, k? You look so frail =-(

*BIIIGGGG HUGGG!

See you later!

Alligator ~ =P

Tata~

Enjoying the peacefulness...

2011-12-11T03:13:00.003+08:00

...peacefulness of the wee hours.

Merrily merrily merrily... life is but a dream ~~ lalala lala~ =P =X

Falling asleep

2011-12-09T12:39:00.014+08:00

Am having difficulty staying awake on this warm and quiet day. I finished reading my 8 Days, newpaper, all the articles on asiaone, xin.com, straitstime.com, watched yesterday's episode of "A Song to Remember" and made all my moves on WWF but it is still only 12:42. zzZzzz... Five more hours to go! Help!

Guess this mean its time to blabber some gibberish on my neglected blog again ba. This should help me kill off the next hour! Hee zzZzzz.. =( Actually i have a better idea... My brain is being fried now and i can't really think straight, so maybe i should just upload some of the pictures i took the pass weeks and add little one-liners. This should be easier! Yeah!

So, here you go, readers:

Jim, acting all cool in his $600 outfit with Ah ma looking on and asking in her mind, "All purple? Really? ARMITOUFOU"! Lol...

Enlarge the pic for a view of Thomas's Tummy! =X

My neigbourhood as the MRT passes by:

My daily source of Vitamin C:

Some random flowers taken at some random place:

My pet Sweet potato :P

I find this rather inovative = )

Saw my dad while granny-sitting at Jacqui's place:

My companion while i was there:

What i do when my wallet's a little light and when i have too much time over the weekend:

I've got Jason to thank for this! Big Ouch too!

Happy Birthday Mummy! You have aged =(

Taken on Mummy's birthday Dinner:
Cheers to a long, happy and healthy life Mummy Dearest! 我爱你！

Meeting Marc's Gf for the first time:
Zhut Zhut running for it's life!

Too late. R.I.P Zhut Zhut no. 23. And no thanks, mummy. I don't dare to eat that.

This Gigantic Saba Fish; i dare eat though! Yummy! =P...

My companions:

Alrighty, i guess that about does it. 13:26 now. Time to prepare for the tea time crowd.

Have a blessed weekend, my fellow Earthlings.

Finally got the batteries of the wireless keyboard replaced! Hurray.. I can type again...

Another year has breezed pass just like that. Quite a bit has happened this year, none of which positive. Let's hope the remaining month will be sooooooooo good that it even out all the bad of the previous 11 months ba.

Give me a reason to to smile before i sleep...

Daily horoscope

2011-11-25T22:11:00.002+08:00

Got this from my horoscope ap... Spot on!

Scorpio Daily Horoscope

25 Nov, 2011
Nothing much to do today, as you are lost in thoughts. Bouts of depression may make you feel lonely. Meditation, yoga or listening to soft music may bring some respite to your disturbed mind. According to Ganesha, there's light at the end of every tunnel; be hopeful.

Mouse and keyboard are down again... shall "type" no more... sigh~`

Just when can i have a functional life?

Drop it for the first time!

2011-11-16T12:47:00.004+08:00

I was actually wondering "how come so long still haven't drop?" This is so unlike me! Lol... then it happened. It was lunch time, and i stole a few admiral glance at the N9 as usual and saw some grease on it. So, immediately i took my lovely phone and breathe some warm air on it and use the inner part of my t-shirt to wipe it clean. Just as i was doing this, it slipped off my grip and onto the floor!

A few Thud thud thud thud thuds & a big OUCH later, i picked the phone up and scrutinise it. To my surprise, there was neither a single scratch on the casing nor any cracks on the screen. The reviews & drop tests claims are true! The gorilla glass & Polycarbonate Body is truly remarkable!

On a warm and slow day like this, we gotta find ways to amuse ourselves! haha...

Happy Wednesday and two days to Friday! Hurray!

Don't disappoint please..

2011-11-15T13:01:00.004+08:00

Eason's long awaited chinese album is finally out on the same day as Soda Green and JAY CHOU!!! Heard it is doing really well in Taiwan but i have doubts over the quality of the album. After all he has spent the best part of the last year and a half touring the world, earning big bucks from concerts and gigs! My dear unpretentious Eason seem to have become more and more commercialised too.

Sigh~~

Heard the first single from this latest album on 933 a few weeks back, didn't really like it. Heard the second single on youtube over the weekend and again it didn't get me excited : ( When i saw the title of the track(內疚, guilty), i had high hopes. Sad to say though i was left disappointed. Is it my problem or his? usually after hearing his new songs for the first time, i will get all excited and will listen to it repeatedly trying to learn how to sing it... As much as i want to, It didn't happen this time though. Booohooohoo... I want to feel excited over stuffs! I want to feel alive! Hai Choon.... Please come back! Ha Ha Ha...

Here is the second single from his latest album simply titled "问号" or "?" Enjoy if you may ba.

Byebye...

My not so eventful weekend

2011-11-14T09:17:00.011+08:00

Insomnia is getting worse. I think i fell asleep at close to seven on Saturday morning and woke up around noon. I spent the rest of Saturday practically on my bed. Ran out of dvds, so all i did was surf around and play words with friends with my friends.. Lol. Oh, i also played about 15 games of Bejeweled Blitz too to get my name on top. It was a not so pleasant Saturday actually. The moment i woke up i was greeted with the sight of a "Drag". What the hell is your problem, cuz? It is making me really uncomfortable. And later in the night, i was greeted by the sight of Meat wrapped with nothing but a piece of Towel smoking away by the window. Where is the modesty? You don't mind showing, but i mind looking! This is neither a hotel nor a resort so please show some respect to the owners.

The mind was in overdrive again and i only fell asleep around 0300 i think.. and within a few hours, i was up again!? WTH? Not wanting another day like the last, i asked Sixin if she would like to go Johor Bahru with me. And coincidently, she was looking for people to accompany her in to have her hair done! Yeah! Can go "k" my heart out, replenish my Dvd/ cooking oil stock and escape from my home!? :/

Taken while waiting for lunch to be served. Was weak with hunger. Droopy eyes and face glowing with oil too, 真恶心！

When you are down, nothing goes right. What's suppose to be a small cheap little getaway ended up taxing my already worned out body/mind. The hairdressing took longer than should be and just as we were making our way back, It started to rain heavily. Traffic was madness. We were stuck for 3 solid hours for a journey of less than 10 kilometres! When i finally got home, first things i saw were another two pieces of meat(one wrapped from chest down the other from waist down). I was feeling sick, tired and hungry from the Jam and what i saw certainly did not help.

I woke up this morning with a terrible sore throat despite downing cough syrup, Pi Pa Gau and two tall glasses of water before i went to bed! I already feel the sore throat building half way through the Jam. The double serving of french fries prior coupled with the dry condition and a lack of fluid while in the car and the severe lack of sleep probably caused the throat to sore up! Am doing my utmost to keep the sore at bay! Will try to sleep real early today too! Wish me Luck!

Something nice happened this morning though. I was at Sheng Shiong trying to buy fish balls and Hot dog bun but they ran out of the buns. When the Sheng Shiong lady saw that i didn't buy any bun today, she asked me why and i told her it was sold out. Immediately, she took 2+1 promotional pack Hot Dog buns, stuff them into a plastic bag and gave them to me : ) How nice, how sweet. These buns are usually given when you purchase a big loaf of bread but she gave them to me for nothing! And it's not even those "next day expire" buns. Expiry date is on the 18th. Thank you Sheng Shiong lady!

Yawnz~~ yeah i know.. boring post, boring me. I am so falling asleep here too. Good night.. Tough tough week again... Hope i can pull it through.

Sayonara eh~!

One of his better songs...

感情的事

感情的事曲：葉良俊詞：吳慶康編：譚國政

感情的事我們都認真在尋找總相信只要有心就能找得到
如果愛過的人都能夠忘得掉愛一個人也就不一定要得到

* 傷心的事我們都經歷的不少心裡的裂痕要一針一線縫好
若我們能夠成為彼此的依靠就不必在又愛又恨的日子裡煎熬

我守了很久很久的天荒地老守到當初的心情都不見了
原來時間是所有傷口良藥感情的事一天一點就忘了

人間風景有時可壞有時可好春夏秋冬未必都準時到
只要渡過秋冬就有春夏之邀感情的事一年一年就習慣了

Bring me back...

Another Quiet Day at Work

2011-11-11T11:33:00.005+08:00

Its yet another quiet day at work. I managed to finish last night's episode of "The Oath" almost uninterrupted. Thoroughly enjoyed the episode. It took me on an emotional roller coaster ride. And oh... Christopher and Jessica shares such good chemistry too. : )

It's Friday once again.. not sure how i am going to spend the weekend though. More Dvds from JB? MJ? Soccer? Zhou Bo? Let's take each day as it comes ba.

Anyways.. i had a really good workout last night... sweated loads and went home high on adrenaline! The adrenaline rush was soon replaced by hunger though and when combined with an ever "working brain", i had yet another sleepless night. : ( Simply couldn't fall asleep. How can i survive till 1800? Half day? cannot lei : (

Sigh~~ Insomnia ah Insomnia, you are a friend i don't quite want keep but somehow has kept and grown more attached.

Have a great weekend!

No title.

2011-11-10T17:11:00.004+08:00

The best part of any relationship is perhaps having that someone to share your daily activities with. You don't need to have a particularly good day. But simply having that someone to share your joys and grievances provides great comfort.

Twitter and facebook don't quite measure up, do they?

Bored

2011-11-09T20:05:00.010+08:00

Hi all... I am here again. Updating my blog for a second time in a day after neglecting it for a long long time. Last night i went home and was greeted with lots of letters. I have always dreaded opening letters as they are mostly bill statements or compliance letters for Lucy Eating House. But last night there was a pleasant surprise in one of those dreaded letters! I have got a "B" rating for hygiene and cleanliness! haha... Who would have thought!

Yes, bo liao... i know... But then again.. this is why i started this blog more than 2 years ago in the first place; To kill my boredom and to give myself an avenue to voice my frustrations. Over the years though, blogging has also become therapeutic. It calms me down and help me gather my thoughts. It also act as a diary, documenting the things i did, the thoughts i conjured and the things/people i have lost at different time throughout this two years++.

I am not sure how long more i will go on blogging but i think it will be quite interesting to look back at the archive 5 or 10 years down the road : ) I hope by then, "The Hawker Who Blogs" will be a less gloomy place. Sigh~~

Shall end this post with yet another bo liao video i uploaded. I was shopping at Sheng Shiong when i heard one of my favourite songs of all time, 谢安琪's 欢送会. I haven't uploaded any videos for a while now and i have also not tried the video recording function on my beloved N9 yet.... So... i went home, showered and recorded this! Heez.. Enjoy if you may:

I think i am feeling better now.

So... alrighty then.. shall go lie down on my big big bed and watch tv till i fall asleep ba.

Goodbye, my fellow Earthlings.

The Long weekend has ended in a breeze. Instead of feeling rested and recharged, the ill feelings seem to have compounded. I am 31 and a week old now but i feel like the same me when i was 24. I have made no progress whatsoever. Only difference is perhaps going from realisation to acceptance that its a sad and practical world we live in on top of the addition of wrinkles and residing hairline...

Friends and relatives around me have moved up the corporate ladder, started new homes, gave birth to kids, changed a few cars, and basically living their own lives. I have been stuck for as long i remember. Stuck in painful circumstances. I have forgotten who i am or what i want. It's a slow and painful process i wish i never had.

I am really tired, really drained... and the last drops of zest(in my life) are slowly slipping away...

Finally!

2011-11-05T12:31:00.004+08:00

Finally satisfied my craving for Yami Yogurt! : P And oh.. isin't the quality of the picture amazing? Look at the details! I am so so happy with my new phone... heez..

Start of the long weekend lo... start of my DVD marathon! Let's start with Hangover 2 ba! Learning to lead a single life!

Have a good weekend fellow Earthlings...

Please learn to love yourself more.

Only then can you draw enough strength to carry on.

You can't go on being such a let down.

When will you, if ever, realise all the potentials you and people around you once thought you had?

Learn to shut the voices out, learn to let go, learn to accept things for how they are, however hard it may be and however unkind the world has been.

The greatest love of all, is the love you can give to yourself.

Meaningful quote

2011-10-20T09:45:00.003+08:00

One person came to mind when i read this: My Mum. Thank you, mummy : )

Shall go home and take a picture of her and post it in this space!

Early Day

2011-10-20T07:42:00.007+08:00

Was up bright(actually it was pretty dark when i woke up) and early today! 4am, to be precise. Waking up at weird hours has been the norm for me for as long as i can remember.

Anyway, i just laze a bit on bed before i woke up, shower and got ready for work. It felt pretty good to be early actually. The roads are peaceful and i can do everything in a comfortable pace. I can also sell a few more pieces : )

Filled the cabinet with minimal interruption

Alrighty people, time for me to go fill up the cabinet once more!...

Just one more day to Friday... Hang in there my fellow Earthlings!

I am so looking forward to regaining this posture! zzZzzz...

Tata..

SMILE

2011-10-17T15:48:00.005+08:00

Brought a smile to my face.. Hope it has the same effect on you : )

SMILE!

Another long week ahead! Lets grit our teeth and grind through it!

Just as i was going through the pieces, this song came on.

Let's throw in another 动力火车's classic for good measures ba :P

Oh dear.. look at the MV.. so or biang... and i know the song? Am i that old already? erks.. :/

2011-10-11T09:40:00.008+08:00

No one start a relationship with the intention of seeing it end. But often, one gets too consumed with the other daily stresses of life and neglect dealing with the nitty gritty(of the relationship). And before you know it, it has slipped away...

There is no winner in a failed relationship. Both would have lost a chunk of the most precious commodity - time. Time is what made everything possible. However, it is also responsible for changing the meaning of the memories it once created. The same memories that once warmed the heart and brought upon smiles now brings about heartaches and regrets.

I believe love is secondary and that love is overrated. It is the willingness to make it work that really matter. Sad to say though, the world has evolved. There are just too many distractions and too much ego in most of us now. It has become human nature to be self-centered and guarded. Trust is a constant issue. No one likes to be make to look like a fool. And likewise, no one likes to be on the losing end. Everything is about "me" "me" "me" and "I","I", "I" now. We have perhaps forgotten that it takes a "We" to form a relationship.

The world too, is moving in a "fast food pace". But bond and trust needs time to build. Yet at the same time are fragile as glass...

I am still learning.

You may want to take a few minutes to listen to the video. Its a good song, enjoy if you may and have a good week ahead my fellow earthlings :)

Just five simple words...

2011-10-09T20:42:00.016+08:00

"我们分手吧”...

and 2.5 years of a tumultuous journey came to an end. I couldn't say the end was abrupt but shocked it still did. What mattered just a few days ago became irrelevant overnight. And just like that, the grudges, the anger i carried for 2 years, are replaced by a huge void and an even stronger feeling of lost.

The signs were there. We have stopped caring. Hints were dropped. New paths were paved. I was too consumed to care. After all, Isn't this the outcome i have wanted? Isn't this for the better of the both of us? Why is it painful then? I couldn't function for the rest of the day. I have no new paths. I haven't been planning for this day. I am badly hit. Somehow... somehow... it has to rain on days like these...

I couldn't sleep that night. But somehow mustered enough energy the next morning to make my way down to Sembawang for soccer, thinking it may help shake me up a little. It did initially but as the session drew closer to an end, the realisation started to sink in... This weekend and all subsequent weekends are not going to be the same any more. There is no one waiting for me at home. No one for me to share the goals i scored with. No one for me to share the "after sports high" with.

And so, i went home, showered and made my way downstairs looking for food. I wandered around the neighbourhood aimlessly, passing by the same few eating places over and over again not knowing what to eat... I have taken this simple event for granted. I got home almost an hour later, and was greeted by this forlorn figure lying precariously on a coaster on my side table.

Ouch.

Just like the board that holds the different tickets of the movies, concerts and shows we watched, the relationship has ran out of rooms for expansion... and i have lost a confidant, and more... much much more perhaps.

Perhaps it's time for a new board elsewhere ba... All the best.

Although painful, i guess it's only fair...

And when it has come to this, where or who the fault lies with is no longer important... It's a practical world we live in.

那就这样吧。。。

Feeling like an empty glass...

虽然爱情会让人感动
但又会让人错了怕了不敢再碰
说错的话也许这次说的太重
做错了事这次把她伤的太痛
当初把甜蜜装满的杯子已经掏空
过去的情感已经无法再去拥有
却又不舍的放手这时候谁要先走
带不走就让回忆的终点到这里已足够
我不懂如何要去天长地久
曾经的拥有是否只不过也是個藉口
我没有太在乎到最后才有领悟
大家剩下的是痛苦还是一份礼物
不要再哭对与错要如何分的清楚
其实结果我们从来没有关注
我们没有赢人也没有人输
收拾好了包袱以后就各走各的路

Everyone is a genius...

Life vs Video Games

2011-09-20T09:50:00.007+08:00

Just like in a video game, we go through different stages/ obstacles in life. Each day we are faced with a set of different challenges. There is one big difference though; In a video game, the difficulty is usually progressive. In life however, "stage 1"(waking up) is arguably the hardest! And unlike in a video game, we don't get better after a few practice. I have probably fought the snooze monster 11,274 times(365 x 30++years) but i am still no better at it as i was 30 odd years ago.

After spending 5-15 mins(duration of 1 to 3 snooze on my alarm) to defeat the snooze monster, the next stages would be choosing what to wear for work, deciding what to eat for breakfast, thinking how to sell more puffs, and so on and so forth. Life is such a chore. It is also brutal. There are countless possibilities, countless permutations but NO reset button.

How many times have you wished that you have made a different decision or done a certain chore/ treat a certain person/ handled a certain situation differently?

As a kid, i was pretty obsessed with video games. My dad used to use video games as motivation for me to do well in school. Some of my best childhood momories are those spent with my parents at Sim Lim Square shopping for video games. The anticipation, the excitement, the love i felt, the innocence i had... I was a happy kid.

I would then spend the following days or weeks perfecting each stage. Maybe my failure in Life is down to this video game mentality that i have subconsciously. My life is filled with regrets. All the "should haves", "would haves", "could haves"... Sigh~~

Let's hope this button works.......

~~~~~~~~

Game over.

A song i like

2011-09-14T10:37:00.004+08:00

Lately i heard a song over the radio. It is the kind of song that will give you goosebumps. The kind of song that will stir up your emotions when you hear it over the radio in the middle of the night... It has a bit of the 90s feel. Similar to the kind of Rock ballet Bon Jovi used to belt out.. the kind i used to love. The song is simply titled, "你".

The first time i heard it, i like it. I looked it up on youtube and after watching the music video, i like it more. The mood of the mv totally matches the song. He was on roller blades and simply gliding through the midnight streets with only the breeze, the street lights, deserted cars and his thoughts.

I had insomnia and i used to do that quite often in my early twenties. I should say it felt really good. It's a weird kind of feeling; Serene but empty, free but lonely...

Hmm.. so.. here it is "你" by 蕭敬騰.

Hope you like it too...

There is a mysterious visitor in my stall today...

2011-09-09T10:38:00.008+08:00

Say hello to Zebroth:

不知不觉, i am back from reservist for two weeks.. Business has slowed down a bit as most of the Univac staffs have moved out. Things at home have been a little crazy too. Still surviving though :)

As usual, reservist has been a complete waste of time and petrol! 40km covered daily! One of my Saturday was burnt too. That Saturday happen to be the kick off of the new EPL season and I had to miss it! I spent that night away alone in one of the rooms on the forth storey.

Before i turn in for the night, i took a long walk to the washroom and on my way back to my bunk i took a picture across the length of the corridor. And If you enlarge the picture, you will see what look like a smokey figure right at the end.. Pretty eerie i should say....

Annnnyways.. am glad reservist is over and even more glad that i did not miss the following week's big match between my beloved Man Utd and Arsenal:

8-2!!! Who would have thought? : )

Hmm... It's Friday again! Looking forward to bathing Little Kupi Si!

Hee... say hi to Little Kupi Si!

Have a good weekend, my fella Earthlings! See ya when i see ya! tata...

2011-09-08T08:28:00.001+08:00

Had a series of weird weird dreams this morning...

Hope nothing weird(bad) happen.

A break from the routine

2011-08-09T14:27:00.008+08:00

Happy birthday Singapore! Singapore turns 46 today while my reservist starts tomorrow and ends on the 22nd. As such my stall will be closed for the duration.

It's not easy being a hawker. Long hours and a less than desirable working environment aside, a hawker is a humble job. You got to put down your pride and the feeling of insignificance, inferiority, and subservience are often etched on. It can be tiring.

So, for once, the reservist seem to have come at the right time. I genuinely NEED this break! It is getting harder and harder to psyched myself to wake up each morning. My smiles are also getting less sincere.

Sorry guys.. can't satisfy your taste butts and fill your tummy for the following weeks. Don't forget me though cause I'll be back! :P

Meanwhile, i had a rather enjoyable pre reservist weekend! Good food, relaxing comedy, great soccer workout and mind freeing Mahjong session...

Cafe Cartel's half spring chicken

Waiting for "Horrible Bosses" to start.

Unbelievably good 起牌(starting tiles)！

And oh, how can i not mention Manchester United lifted their first trophy of the new season over the weekend too! What a match too.. from 2-0 down to win 3-2! Woohoo!

That's all folks.. gotta go pack my luggage for my holiday at Sungei Gedong camp!

Tata.

食物炸好。。。

2011-08-01T12:21:00.002+08:00

。。。阿娣看好

。。。我闷死了！

Only 5 more days!

Happy 37th Birthday Eason Chan Yik-shun (陳奕迅)!!!

2011-07-27T09:35:00.004+08:00

Wish you good health and many more successful years!!!

Last year, this time i wrote about how i come to know of your music... Can't believe it has been a year! Time flies...

Anyways, all the best for your concert in KL next month. I probably can't make it but i am certainly looking forward to your new mandarin album!!! Can't wait to learn more Eason songs! And oh.. a little less yelling please.. too hard to imitate la :P...

My weekend

2011-07-25T10:59:00.009+08:00

With the blink of an eye, the weekend is over and Monday's here. And here i am, in my stall, tired like all Mondays, typing away on this little entry of mine... :P

Had a rather packed weekend. The activities started right after work on Friday. As soon as i got home, i showered and made my way across the causeway with Joy, my sister and my two nephews. We spent the night singing and eating away at Neway, City square. Buffet dinner with a generous mixture of western and asian food, complete with a wide variety of desserts. Topped that off with a "all you can sing offer". All for just $50 ringgit per person. Well worth it, i should say. Will definitely be going again : )

Sean and Jim, appearing a little shy initially...

It didn't take them long to warm up though... Pretty soon they were rapping away...

"Low" Sean Brevin feat. Jim Bryan

How i wish i still have that kind of energy and enthusiasm.

The next day, My Jie gave us a treat at Crystal Jade.

Jie, was that sparkle on your cheeks from the facial or was it from having the opportunity to give us a treat? :P Heez..

Thank you Jie.. But no thanks, Crystal Jade. Your service sucks big time and i won't be going back again.

BTW, Get well soon, Jie! Get that glow back!

Before long, Sunday came. We went to our usual haunt but i ordered something which i have never ordered before. Here it is... Tadang...

Banana prata with chocolate! Hmm... not exactly the best prata combi i have tasted but the banana did ensure a smooth healthy movement of the bowel this morning! Haha...

I spent the rest of the day dry swimming at home and reluctantly tucked in for the night at around 2300. And before long i am back in my stall counting down to the weekend... again.

This week i have "him" to count down with me... Haha
Have a good week ahead, Fellow Earthlings and once again, Get well soon, ah bee Jie Jie!

Life without half the manpower from Univac...

2011-07-20T17:39:00.009+08:00

... isn't too bad afterall!

Thanks to a couple of bulk purchases, the average sales for the 10 days since they left is just about $20 less per day. But still.... it adds up to $400 or so less a month; a substantial amount! : (

Had an impromptu order of 40 puffs and 40 rolls yesterday right at the peak period(tea time) which almost split me into two! I am not complaining though and would gladly split myself into more pieces to receive more of these orders! Heehee...

Last evening, we made a trip across the causeway to enjoy a nice, decent yet cheap dinner. Unfortunately, 小白 had a heart attack after dinner. And if not for a Samaritan, we might have had to stay in JB for the night. This kind man who happens to be from Singapore didn't hesitate to stopover to help jump start 小白 when we waved at his approaching car. There is still a glimmer of hope for the human race c",)

Here is Auntie Joy negotiating for a better price:
Poor mummy, she had to miss her channel 8 drama. She managed to catch part of the show while waiting for 小白 to be fixed though:

Annywaysss, we did make it home safe and sound last night : )

....and its now time for me to go home with these empty trays...
!
Happy Mid week Earthlings and Huat Ah!!!! Huat Ah!!!! Huat Ah!!!!

:P

Miniature Puffs

2011-07-18T09:23:00.003+08:00

Its always good to be given an opportunity to earn some extra cash. Last Friday my lovely cousin, Jac a.k.a cha karly, ordered 60 pieces of miniature puffs and 30 spring rolls.

Here are some pictures i took as i was preparing them:

Are you hungry already?

I sure am..
I stuff an entire puff into my mouth

Delivery went well. And Jac was real sweet to greet me with a "i am so happy, it smells so good!"
Hope they enjoyed the food as much as i enjoyed preparing them!

Have a great week ahead, Earthlings :P

Steamboat!

2011-07-15T10:52:00.003+08:00

Last night we prepared steamboat to welcome my dear sis back!

Look at the sumptuous spread! Made available by Joy and my mum! A big thank you to the both of you! 谢谢！谢谢！谢谢！

All was well except for the fact that my poor sis wasn't feeling too well. She was feeling weak and aching all over. :( 可怜可怜。。。 couldn't really enjoy the dinner.

See how frail my jie look(had to use the table to support herself!):

Get well soon, my dear sis! Don't stress yourself up with all those work! Looking at them is enough to make me stress... i can't imagine what having to be responsible for all those work feel.

Do try and have a good trip. : )

No title.

2011-06-30T14:03:00.001+08:00

My "make-shift microwave" Haha...

Hope it did it's job!
Yummy....:P...

Happy soccer day.

If every hour...

2011-06-21T16:33:00.004+08:00

... is like the last, i will fill up the seemingly bottomless hole in no time.

After having a hotdog and Chicken Puff for lunch, i remove the four glass sliding doors from the warmer and wipe them till they are sparkling! I then went on to prepare food and fill up the warmer for the tea time crowd. The warmer is emptied right to the last piece as soon as it is filled up. The process of frying, filling and emptying repeated another 2 times back to back!

Despite the waiting customers, Haicun did not fluster.. instead he was very "zai" and spotted a wide grin throughout! Haha..

I don't quite comprehend how or why some vendors(who are owners) get all impatient and rude when business is good. Guess the society on a whole is losing it's grace ba..

Hao ba... cheers to more good days, earthlings!

Time to pack up...

Tata

When all else fails...

2011-06-20T09:55:00.004+08:00

... i know i can always seek solace in my favourite food! :P...

Home made french fries!!!
Of course there is also mummy's cooking! After a hard hard day at work, she came home and whipped this up!
Delicious pineapple rice, with vege, prawns, ham and topped off with crunchy chicken floss! awww... i think i am hungry again!

I know i have said it many times..but i just have to say it again, "My mum is a superwoman!"

Lets have a good week ahead, my fella earthlings!

Tata.

Insomnia?

2011-06-19T05:11:00.012+08:00

It's 5 am now. I am still awake, blogging on my bed with a phone that doesn't belong to me. It was the same yesterday. Somehow i woke up at 9 plus in the morning and couldn't quite get back to sleep till now.

The old "rights" are no longer relevant. Old values are no longer valued. I am no longer relevant. The train has left without me. And i am left in an isolated world of my own.

The background though is still playing songs from Bon Jovi and other popular 90s singers. At least i can still relate to class95fm. But life is still sad and i still miss my dad. And i shall go try to sleep again before the sun rises again.

Happy father's day and good night people.

Life...

2011-06-16T15:10:00.004+08:00

... is not just about happiness or sadness.

In between, there is a state where there is nothing to be happy or sad about.

And that is the state i find myself constantly in.

Just like the Champion's League final..

2011-06-13T19:17:00.004+08:00

....although the outcome is expected, i still can't help but feel a tint of disappointment... Perhaps more than just a tint ba.

The top 5 regrets people make on their deathbeds

2011-06-01T16:40:00.006+08:00

Just read this link shared by a friend on facebook. Pretty good read.

These are the 5 sub points.

1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.

2. I wish I didn't work so hard.

3. I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings.

4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.

5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.

If i am to die now, 1, 3 and 5 would probably be true to me...

Which would yours be?

Chinese Dumpling Festival (端午節)

2011-06-01T09:29:00.004+08:00

I was greeted by the fragrance of freshly made dumplings when i got home today. 3 years ago, just around this time of the year, mummy made dumplings to sell at her stall. Although profit was good, it was hard work. So mummy didn't make any to sell the following years. However, there have been too many customers asking her to sell each of the past 2 years. Too many for mummy to just ignore.. So, this year Lucy Dumplings is back! Lucky customers, lucky me! Yipee!

Mummy turning around to smile as soon as she realise i am taking pictures:
I simply couldn't resist and unwrapped two:
2 simply wasn't enough and i had a third! :P... yummilicious!

Granny couldn't resist the smell too and wheeled herself to the kitchen:

Poor old granny, she fractured her left foot when she fell from a chair while trying to wipe off some dust. Now her misery is compounded as she can't eat the dumplings! She is vegetarian. aww.. don't worry granny... your grandchildren and great grand children will help you eat them! Hee :X

Weekends are just too short!

2011-05-30T08:46:00.006+08:00

What? you mean it's Monday already? Sigh~~ Where did the weekend go? zzZzzz...

Let me try to recap... : )

Friday night i boycotted a badminton game due to time constraint, muddle-headedness and fatigue from Thursday night's soccer session. After paying some summons and bills, i went home to have a simple dinner with mummy dearest.

Sometimes simplicity can be bliss. I definitely enjoyed my porridge with salted egg with mummy dearest more than the impromptu crab bee hon i had last weekend. After the very "sumptuous" meal, i stayed and chatted a while with mummy and then retreated to my room to catch dramas till i fall asleep..

Saturday came, we made our weekly trip to The Prata house and had my favourite drink:

Teh 'o' Limao Ice!
It's especially shiok to drink this on warm days...

I spent the rest of the day dry swimming. Saturday was also the Champion Leagues 2011 Final. The 'match of the decade' didn't disappoint as both teams played good open attacking football. However the result and the award presentation left me with a little heartache : ( sob sob...

Here is a video of Man Utd receiving the runners up medal:

This is the last match for a few of Man Utd's older stalwarts(Paul Scholes, Van Der Sar and maybe even giggsy) And their disappointment is apparent. They did their best but as fate has it, their best wasn't quite good enough. The eventual winners, Barcelona is probably the best team there ever has been and this Man Utd's squad is a transitional one. Reaching the finals of the Champion's League and winning the Premier League by 9 points is already an achievement. So, i am very proud of my team! Looking forward to the next season already!

The match and award presentation stretched till 5 am.. As such i slept through Sunday morning. Had lunch at teppanyaki, went home rest a while and headed for Grande Vista for soccer. Didn't quite enjoy the session as there were too many small kids there. The last few hours of weekend was spent eating an awful dinner while watching an equally awful dvd(Sunctum). I fell asleep as soon as the movie ended... or was it during the show....:P

So... weekend came and went in a flash. And here i am, back in my stall blogging away while serving away...

My 'colleague' gave this to me this morning:

Alrighty i have now come to the end of my weekend recollection. Shall leave you guys with yet another boliao video i took (before i left for soccer) of myself and ginger bread man singing to a new song by 张惠妹(A-Mei) titled 还有眼泪就好.

Enjoy if you may

作曲：Summer Hsu
填詞：林夕

如果我能忍住不哭
假裝我什麼也不知道
你會不會停留
直到我能用力微笑
如果我不期待擁抱
好讓你放心走的輕巧
你能不能回頭
勉為其難對我安慰不要自找煩惱

難道愛情虛有其表
還是太認真才輸掉
想不開就不想
得不到就不要
誰說分手不曾預料
只要走的慢點就好
不要天荒地老
只要哭到睡著

如果我不期望回報
承認感情從來沒公道
你會不會後悔
你把我拋棄的太早
如果我尊重你選擇
還為你幸福大聲祈禱
你會不會聽到
我在內心僅僅求饒不要太快逃跑

難道愛情虛有其表
還是太認真才輸掉
想不開就不想
得不到就不要
誰說分手不曾預料
只要走的慢點就好
不要天荒地老
只要哭到睡著

晚了別鬧

很多的淚我都知道渴望淚水就能做到
想不開就不想
得不到就不要
誰說分手不曾預料
只要好來好去就好
不要哭的太吵
否則怎能睡著
只要還有眼淚就好

Had yet another fulfilling session last night. All the bottled up frustrations came flowing out in the form of sweat. Loads and loads of them too. I could probably fill up a 1 liter bottle and more with those sweat. Ya, a little gross i know.. Hee.. To make up for that, i shall show you a picture of my supper! When i got home after the session, i was greeted by the strong aroma of bah zhang, charcoal and macaroni soup. I hurriedly showered, prepared myself a bowl(despite already having had one before i left) and enjoyed it with the American Idol top 3.
My life isn't that bad afterall... :p...

I often wonder where my mum draw all that strength and will from despite the countless obstacles the almighty had thrown at her throughout her life. Miscarriages, poverty, life threatening illnesses, rocky marriage, delinquent kids, loss of loved ones and so on... She took blows after blows after blows in her strike and simply grit her teeth and move on to the next round. Throwing the white towel just never cross her mind no matter how tough the opponent appear. And this often make me guilty when i look at her each day... Why can't i love myself more?

Annnnyways, despite being a Mohammed Ali of a mum, mummy doesn't cook everyday.. And on those days i will either eat out or have these...

Oh dear, i am hungry again... despite having just had a

and a Curry puff...

Guess having appetite is a good thing.. I seem to have loss some weight the past weeks. Gotta beef up and make myself look/feel better.

Weekend's here again. Just had three back to back 4-day work week the past 3 weeks. Money no enough ah! Gotta work harder the coming weeks to make up the shortfall! Jia You ah Haicun!

就这样了，地球人！ We never know what tomorrow brings. So. learn to cherish the people we love; by action and not simply by words...

Have a good weekend.
